Squeaky wheel gets the travel voucher

I was so incensed at being made to pay for my own hotel when I got stuck in Philadelphia during my recent travels because of a canceled flight, seeing as how it was at a terrible hotel (2 MILES to a restaurant!) and the "distress" rate was over $100, which is as much as full price should ever be for a Holiday Inn in a bad location. So I wrote them a letter.

And they sent me a travel voucher.

But my yearly New York trip is already bought and paid for, and I just went to Canada, so where else am I going to go? Especially for only $125. Maybe a day in Mexico for spring break? Maybe a science fiction convention? Hmm.

Hm. $125 travel vouchers clearly have more clout south of the border. That wouldn't even get me to Montreal, let alone New York.

Well, I think I was being overly optimistic. It will get me to Philadelphia or Washington, or perhaps to somewhere I would actually want to go if I keep my eyes on bargains for long enough.
